A UBI would be in addition to other social programs, not replacement – that is what universal means

A Universal Basic Income is one where every person in society is guaranteed a set amount of money to maintain their basic needs. The UBI does not take the place of other social welfare programs, but rather supplements them. This proposal is most often discussed as a solution for economic security, where people would no longer have to work for money to access their basic needs or steal…by raising the criminal rates high. The UBI could be implemented through various systems: a tax on capital, an increase in minimum wage or even an increase in the general price level. One of the most promising implementations would be an increase in the minimum wage, which increases as productivity increases (and therefore decreases unemployment). And is adjusted to keep the same percentage of income over time.
